An Ethereum QR code encodes your ETH wallet address for receiving Ether or ERC-20 token payments. Scanners send payments directly from their wallet app. Create one at QRMax.

What It Does

The QR encodes an ethereum: URI (EIP-681) with your wallet address, optional amount, chain ID, and token contract. Scanning opens the user's Ethereum wallet with payment details pre-filled.

Common Use Cases

Use CaseExample
NFT salesAccept ETH for digital art
DApp paymentsIn-app payment via QR scan
DonationsCrypto donation boxes for DAOs or creators
Token salesPre-fill contract address for ERC-20 payments
Freelance invoicingInclude ETH payment QR on invoices

How to Create an Ethereum QR Code

  1. Choose "Ethereum" type — Open QRMax and select Ethereum payment.
  2. Enter wallet details — Paste your ETH address, optionally set amount and token contract.
  3. Customize & download — Brand with Ethereum colors or your own, then export.

Practical Tips

  • Verify the address on-chain — Send a tiny test transaction first to confirm the address is correct.
  • Specify the network — Include the chain ID to prevent accidental payments on the wrong network (mainnet vs. testnet vs. L2).
  • Use checksummed addresses — EIP-55 mixed-case addresses help catch typos.

Does it support ERC-20 tokens like USDC or USDT?

Yes. QRMax lets you specify a token contract address so the wallet knows which token to send, not just ETH.

Which wallets support Ethereum QR codes?

MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, and most EIP-681-compatible wallets support scanning Ethereum QR codes.

Can I accept payments on Layer 2 networks?

Yes. Include the appropriate chain ID for networks like Arbitrum, Optimism, or Polygon so the wallet switches to the correct network.
